People on our campus and in our communities are amazingly committed to the DCTC mission: Education for Employment. Each year the DCTC Recognition Awards Program gives you the opportunity to nominate your choices for an array of awards that honor people who have bettered society and our college through outstanding professional, philanthropic or volunteer accomplishments.
The Awards Committee, a subcommittee composed of DCTC staff and faculty, assembles your nominations and administers the selection process for each award. The Awards Committee chairperson ensures that no conflicts of interest with subcommittee members occur during the evaluation process.
